WASHINGTON, DC – The Washington Post unveiled the first installment of its Top Secret America series, revealing that much of America is now being controlled by aliens.

You think you know America, but you don’t know – “Top Secret America.” This is a closed intelligence community that emerged after 9/11. It is protected from public scrutiny by extraordinary secrecy.

The much-anticipated investigative series by the Washington Post on the vast post-Sept. 11 counter-terrorism-industrial complex was released over the weekend. It was the result of two years of reporting by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Dana Priest and William Arkin, a veteran national security journalist.

Among the Post’s more troubling findings: that the “top secret” U.S. intelligence world is largely contracted out to private sector companies full of former government officials. It concludes that this “fourth branch of government” has essentially ballooned out of control in the past nine years, and that it continues to grow, mostly hidden from public view and lacking in thorough oversight. It says an estimated 854,000 people, or nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances.

The most startling revelation is that this new Fourth Branch is being run by aliens, most of whom were originally trained at Area 51, the Nevada military base that the government long denied every existed. In recent years, the government moved the aliens to a base in West Virginia, known as Area 79. This is where training of the TSA aliens has taken place. Some in the Defense Department were worried about using aliens for counter-terrorism, but after 9/11 there was nothing anybody could do to stop the Bush Administration and their all-out efforts to gather intelligence. “Everybody was afraid to challenge Dick Cheney.” One Defense Department insider said.

Unfortunately, aliens have their own agenda – something we will never know, because their brains are far superior to ours. They are now running the Fourth Branch, which the Washington Post reports employees an estimated 854,000 people. The number of aliens running TSA is not known, but insiders say, it is close to 500.

In an off-the-record comment, Defense Secretary Robert Gates was heard saying, “the genie is out of the bottle now. There’s no going back. We can only pray that the aliens will treat Americans with dignity and respect. It seems to be the case so far, but we don’t know exactly what they are doing or what their plans are for the American people.”
